Very good condition WWII Finnish Model 1939 Mosin Nagant Rifle in 7.62 x 54r caliber that has the Sako Arsenal marking on the barrel and dated 1941. Rifle has the rare “PUOLUSTUSLAITOS” (Defense Department) marking on the barrel. This was only used for two months in 1942 before being replaced with the ubiquitous “SA” marking. Rifle is import marked on the barrel and has nonmatching numbers on the barrel and floorplate. Bolt and buttplate are unnumbered. Metal finish is original blue showing some normal wear. Bore is very good and bright with strong rifling and a little pitting. Stock has original finish and shows some normal handling marks. Right side buttstock has a Sako Arsenal cartouche. A nice, rare “PUOLUSTUSLAITOS” marked M39 Mosin Nagant Rifle that will make a fine addition to a collection.
